Am I the only one who finds it a bit weird that in some scenes they’re not wearing shoes?

Going barefoot in the Bible
Although shoes were worn in ancient Samaria and Egypt, historians believe most people went barefoot. Shoes were worn only by the rich and influential and when they went barefoot this was taken as significant.
According to the Holy Scriptures barefoot walking intimated one of three states: the lack of social status, humility, or reference to the Divine.
A common punishment or judgement was being forced to go without shoes it can be concluded wearing shoes was a privilege extended only to the few.
Prisoners and slaves were made to go barefoot to prevent escape.
Look at it this way, a person wearing shoes walks with his feet safely protected and can tread wherever he wants. He does not need to think about where he is going or what he is stepping on. But when a person walks barefoot, not every surface is available to him. He has to think before he takes the next step. He has to anticipate the terrain and navigate accordingly. He cannot walk freely and must instead look in front of him and choose carefully before he puts his foot down.
Personally I think them being barefoot hints at them being mind controlled/slaves, they’re not free to “move” at their own will, they have to be cautious of every little thing they do just in case they end up saying the wrong things
